Tasting notes
I am impressed by the La Fiorita 2012 Brunello di Montalcino, although my impression is that this wine will be best enjoyed within the next five to ten years when the primary fruit is still intact. I say that because the primary fruit is indeed impressive with luscious, dark and succulent characteristics. This Brunello opens to a very dark color and rich concentration. The aromas burst from the glass with happy intensity. The mouthfeel is layered and rich in a similar manner. The wine surrenders easily to those who want to enjoy it immediately.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby. Sweet nose that is a tiny bit candied and with hints of oak. Rich fruit on the palate and a little biting on the finish. Very tannic. A little brutal. (WS)
